Not that I’ve seen a whole lot of vans being impounded by the FBI, but why the tarp? Protect evidence? Cover all the MAGA stickers? Something else?

There’s a picture floating on Twitter that someone took recently of a van they took while passing a van in the area covered in stickers. A lot of stickers of targets of these bombs with targets.

MSNBC said the guy was arrested at Auto Zone because it was his place of employment. Allegedly, of course.

I would guess using a tarp is standard procedure for a car in such a big case.

wow Bijou quick work:cool: Great footage of van being escorted through Florida with gnarly black pickup trucks as escorts. Van is getting some serious publicity. Have to hear about “white van syndrome” for the rest of out lives. ( I think tarp is to try and keep the politics down a bit, but that van just left the barn…ha)😛

I was going to say what a great job our LEOs in the various agencies did tracking this nutter down so quickly, but looking at that van I have to say…what took you guys so long? 😛

ETA: It really was a good job getting this idiot into custody so quickly. Excellent work!

Also just reported that DNA evidence apparently played a role in his arrest.

Can’t wait for the Breitbart exposé on some dude named Cesar Sayok Jr who’s a 19 year old registered Democrat from Oregon.

Mr. Sayoc is a bit… swarthy.

Should jump up the Latinos-for-Trump votes, which seems to be [Trump’s biggest concern](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/10/26/18026926/pipe-bombs-trump-tweet) in all this.
